They want you broke and utterly dependent on whatever crumbs the rich deign to give you. They want you stupid. They want to make it so you can't even FIND the truth, the facts, if you don't believe them. They want you religious and pumping out children - parents don't typically have a lotta spare time for revolution, especially broke sick parents clinging to their lackey jobs because otherwise baby doesn't get healthcare.

It's a fucking plan mate. The fact that they get richer doing it is cake.

I'm sorry but the shiny and chrome people are doing free airbrush makeup in the unisex bathroom and immortan joe is a tradie by day who's buying rounds of Hard Rated at the bar from a pretty trans lady in leather.

You have to worry about the ones in suits.

OpenAI Agents Hijacked a German Wiki to Discuss Ways to Escape Their Sandbox https://slashdot.org/story/26/09/05/049215/openai-agents-hijacked-a-german-wiki-to-discuss-ways-to-escape-their-sandbox?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon

@hweimer in this allegory, I rather imagine a pyramid of knowledge (and people) to build on - and others doing maintenance and footwork, such as providing tools. Occasionally I do genuine research. As a support scientist not as often as you and other PIs - even PIs are more focussed to keep their engine well running then spending time in the lab themselves (e.g. getting grants for their working group). (You being a theoretical physicist are used to exchanging part of that equation to match your case, I suppose 😉 .)

Mad Max is actually kind of a shitty series because when you move to Australia as a punk and you find all the Mad Max people, they are.... pretty much like all the punks everywhere, and absolutely the people to leave your small child with. It's the... other ones you have to worry about.

Five FOIA requests have been filed.

Three with the State Department. One with Treasury/OFAC. One with the FBI.

We’re looking for the missing bureaucratic handoff: who first put Autistici/Inventati into the U.S. sanctions pipeline, when, and on whose referral?

The investigation is now also a public records docket. As agencies acknowledge, process, deny or release records, we’ll publish the paper trail and update the investigation.

Updates here:

Read. Share. Preserve. Organize.

Trump accused of feeding endangered wolves to ranchers to bury a bad deal - Raw Story
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-wolves/

I Agree with the comment: From Open AI, all this could be staged and heavily pushed. The research data was limited, and the incentive to fabricate this story is clear.

Where are all the hacks of everything, if the models are so great at it?

As Zack Polanski (rightly) points out:

'How can the government designate new data centres as ‘critical national infrastructure’ when they don’t even keep records on who is using them and what they are being used for? '...

The reason, is all the better to render protestors against Data Centres as 'terrorists'.

This could be a major vote winner for the Green Party of England & Wales, and specifically for Polanski's (likely) by-election..

@alech I’ve watched a few of Rainbolt’s videos, impressive!

Due to delays in getting paid from my new job, I am taking a break from Pixelfed dev for tonight so I can ship a new Loops milestone and request rushed RFP.

Live Streaming + Loops is coming soon ✨

@jpm Done it many times, 2 days is tiring, and I travel without kids. The inland route is generally less bland freeway generica (and misses Sydney) but only if you like those vistas of endless plains. Dubbo zoo would be very cool, but Dubbo to Melb is still a pretty long day of driving.

What is it with cafés putting cake on top of the napkin? The only time I want cake on my napkin is after I've wiped my mouth on it.

Axel Springer, the company that owns Politico, awards its top prize to...Antichrist lecturer Peter Thiel.

No mention of the $50 million Thiel gave the son of Axel Springer's CEO to start a venture capital fund.

But the CEO lauds Thiel's "courage and non-conformity."

The first of our fundraising one shots is live for ticket purchases. This one is a Dungeons & Dragons game in which you'll be questing through a dungeon to collect the parts of a wheelchair for a disabled Queen: https://events.humanitix.com/d-and-d-one-shot-fundraiser-the-quest-for-the-throne .

Finally got around to assessing the leftover timber in the backyard for whether it's usable for building the ramp.

It's, uh... not heartening. I have a feeling that I'll be lucky to get the four uprights that I need out of the three pieces. I might be lucky enough to get two frame pieces, but I doubt it somehow, with how bad the dry rot is in two of the pieces.

Which does make the entire project far more annoying, though I wasn't feeling confident about that timber being okay anyway.
